No that is no too much water if anything it’s not enough. It sounds like he needs to go to the vet for treatment.

My Cat’s Left Side Of Her Left Pupil Is Slightly Dilated. I Am A Peace…
My cat’s left side of her left pupil is slightly dilated. I am a peace corps volunteer in morocco where I don’t have easy access to a vet. She’s been this way for about a month and a half now but there have been no behavioral or diet changes. Any advice on what I should do?

Brett Freeman This would be 16 ounces in one sitting that he drank all at once. I just want to make sure I didn’t give him too much at one time.

Dawn Ferara, DVM No, if he had drank too much he would have vomited

Brett Freeman This last time he was making sounds like he wanted to but he didn’t. I will be going to a vet in the morning. I just worry about my little guy.

Anonymous Where is the callus located? If on the feet, I’d make sure it isn’t a corn (I don’t know if Rotties get corns), and I would invest in Musher’s Secret or bag balm.
If anywhere else, consult a vet first.

Zep Uy Thank you so much. Will surely try to find one.

Zep Uy He has it on his elbow and near his rectum. Thank you 🙂
-
Anonymous near his rectum? that’s…strange. that would warrant a vet visit in my house.
if it’s on his elbow, does he have soft things for a bed? when i see elbow callus, it tells me the dog is lying on hard surfaces like dirt, concrete, and tile.
-
Zep Uy Since he is a guard dog, he stays out on his cage reason how he got those calluses i guess.

Anonymous that’s…not a good life for a dog.

PK Dennis How awful for the dog. What kind of life is that? There is a huge difference between dogs that have been trained to guard and dogs that are being abused by people that say, “this dog is here because it is guarding my home”. If a dog has not been trained to guard then being kept outside on surfaces that cause sores and calluses that is just abuse. Plain and simple. You need to either start respecting this dog’s needs, or you need to give him up to an organization or person that can give him the life he deserves – in a loving home with interaction, training and surfaces appropriate to his comfort.
I urge you to do the right thing and correct this situation. This dog is not a guard dog if he hasn’t been trained to do this job, cause if the time, energy and money was spent to train him, he wouldn’t be “out on his cage”. A barking dog is NOT a guard dog. Get a lock and an automatic light and you will be just as safe and a lot more humane.

Hello, My Name Is Zachary And I Am Looking For Help On An Adult Cat…
Hello, my name is Zachary and I am looking for help on an adult cat rectal prolase, anything you can help me with would be greatly appreciated.A few months ago my cat got very sick. He couldn’t drink water or eat. He urinated on himself where he laid. I believe he had perhaps got into a neighbor houses rat poison or maybe antifreeze. After a few days of him being near death, it seemed as though he had came back to himself. He still wouldn’t eat hard food but he drank liquids so I gave him kitten formula because that’s what was available at my local stores. He gained his weight back but there was one persistent problem. He used the litter box constantly. Mostly urinating and he would go back to back several times. And now the rectal prolapse. I understand the treatment for the prolapse but how do I solve the cause of the problem? Is there a certain price the treatment will cost that I should expect? And is there any financial assistance that I can look in to? I know you are in a different state “Im in KY” but maybe something national? Thank you for reading all of this, I really need to know what to expect before I move forward with the issue. Also I found out about you through your youtube channel, keep up the excellent work, Krista.

She’s 9 Months. She Bites And Scratches Her Back Legs And Under Her Front Armpits…
She’s 9 months. She bites and scratches her back legs and under her front armpits. These places are now red raw and have no fur. Vet changed her food to hills allergy and skin care food and gave me a special shampoo to wash her twice a week but nothing seems to help. She’s also been treated for fleas. Please help as I’m worried about her.

Alan Abrams Did he do any lab work? Skin scrapings? Allergy testing?

Debbie Harris I have been working with my pets. It’s not easy to treat them when they have skin problems.
If your pet is still scratching and etc. get a second opinion, Also be aware of the surroundings for example is there mold in the house; how often do you spray air fresheners in the air; when you mop the floors are you making sure to throughly rinse them so that the floors don’t have residue from the cleaners.Rule of thumb what goes up must come down. In other words anything you spray,mop,clean make sure the pets aren’t around because if they are they will be breathing,walking,or licking it.
People don’t realize these factors are very important to the health of their dog.
He Started To Bark And Act Weird Yesterday Morning Around 5am. I Went To See…
He started to bark and act weird yesterday morning around 5am. I went to see what was wrong with him. He cannot stand up or walk . Every time I pick him up he leans to the left side. His breathing is slow and it seems like he is having a hard time inhaling. All he’s been doing is laying on his side. He’s barely eating and drinking. .he cannot move or stand up

do not give human medication without direction from your dog’s veterinarian.
for how long has she been limping? have you tried crate rest to see if this is something that will heal itself? in your shoes, i’d put her on crate rest (no running around the house, no jumping on and off beds – in the crate, out to toilet in the yard ON LEASH, then back in the crate with toys/chews to keep her busy) for at least a day or two, minimum.
Hello Bob.
Though not an emergency, all patients demonstrating lameness should be evaluated by a veterinarian experienced in orthopedic examinations and lameness evaluation. Causes can be wide ranging; from a foot pad injury to spinal issues and treatment will always depend on the results of a confident diagnosis.
And Laura is absolutely correct! Never give a human medication to your pet unless under the expressed medical advice of your veterinarian… Dr. Google may seem like an easy path to take, but that road can lead to a plethora of problems.
Cheers,
Dr K
